Huh, good catch. Wonder when it changed. Must have been recent, as my Field grade from last month gauged a 3/3

although, looking at the descriptions right now, they still show the former, more favorable numbers.
"Field Grade Rifles. Most of these rifles have been refinished or rebuilt at least once while in military service and will likely have some parts from other manufacturers. Fair to good condition. Rifle wear will be exhibited by worn and mixed colors of the finish; may have pitting on the metal parts; wood will be basically sound but may be well used with minor hairline cracks, and many dings, scratches and gouges; wood may not match in color, type of wood or condition. These rifles may have some foreign parts and wood may be Walnut, Birch, Beech or other variety. Wood may be new Hackberry wood with no holes drilled for the cleaning kit. Rifles do not have import marks. Bores will be generally good with only minor imperfections; the barrel crown may be nicked, and the muzzle may gauge a 3 on muzzle gauge. The Throat Erosion will gauge less than 5 – well within US Army standards. Do not expect rifles in mint condition in this grade. May come with new wood."

Where are you seeing the 5 or more verbiage?

The CMP has adjusted their criteria since I started buying them 15 years ago. Heck, there was no "field grade" and the rack grade criteria then were better than today's "field grade."
